How to backup the main drive to secondary hard drive

[jboettger]

We are looking at configuring our new computers with two internal hard drives, boot drive C: and second drive to do Veeam backup to.
The objective here is get the daily changes to a secondary device, non networked so that we can recover in a relatively short time.
It does not appear that you can backup to another internal hard drive, only an external usb, network, or cloud storage.
Are we missing something?

Thanks,
Jim

Hi Jim

You can, but you have to format it, give it a drive letter and choose local storage in the veeam job.

You know, your design will not help you against any attacker? The attacker has access to the original and backed up files. And if something happens to your machine (theft, hardware defect) you will loose all data.

Thank you. Yes, I fully understand implications however, i've lost a number of SSD's that would have been far easier to restore from a local backup and not lost the data stored locally.
Thanks again,
Jim
